Community Clean has over 14 years experience in providing specialist cleaning and graffiti removal solutions for both the private and public sectors. With vast experience working on community projects, private renovation projects and high access challenges Community Clean have an array of cleaning and graffiti removal solutions available to suit any project.
They have previously carried out projects for both local and central governments, transport operators, embassies and construction companies to name but a few and are passionate about providing cleaner places for people to live and work. A cleaner living and working environment can lead to increased productivity and a happier workforce or community as is highlighted in their recent television appearance.
They utilise state of the art machinery and products to remove chewing gum, paint and graffiti from a variety of surfaces such as concrete, road signs and brickwork. As well as this they have expanded in recent years to offer pavement cleaning enabling Community Clean to provide a comprehensive range of cleaning services.
Community Clean recently appeared on a GMTV feature highlighting issues that people find exasperating and annoying, the feature tied in with the Keep Britain Tidy campaign which has been running across Britain since it was launched in 1954. The feature highlighted the annual cost of chewing gum removal across Britain alone as amounting to £150million.
Chewing Gum is considered the hardest type of litter to remove as normal cleaning methods such a street sweeping and litter picking cannot remove this sticky issue. The video highlights Community Cleans use of pressure washers and steam cleaning in order to remove the gum. This method of removal is extremely effective with Community Clean working from the early hours of the morning 5 days a week 52 weeks a year in an attempt to rid our pavements of old chewing gum.
As well as their recent appearance on GMTV helping well know presenter Richard Arnold clean up the pavements of Westminster, Community Clean have also helped in the clean-up of the new diagonal Oxford Circus crossing, one of the biggest diagonal crossings in Europe.
On average Community Clean see 70 pieces of chewing gum a square metre in some of the worst spots, and despite many people trying to come up with ingenious ways to encourage people to dispose of their chewing gum in an environmentally friendly manner such as chewing gum ‘boards’, the issue is yet to be resolved. In Singapore chewing gum has been banned since 1992 due to the litter problems it caused and with rising costs of chewing gum removal it is advised that people should take heed of this as a potentially drastic solution.
